Chapter 209: Are You Mentally Ill?
"You perverted husband, you are always staring at Leah’s breasts."
Lily, sitting in the passenger seat, noticed her husband’s gaze and scolded him teasingly, though she wasn’t actually angry.
"Yeah, you tell me, what a huge burden she must carry."
Luis licked his lips and said with a chuckle, "Wife, do you think our little sister is still a virgin?"
"You’re going to die! What kind of brother-in-law asks something like that?"
Lily’s face flushed red as she looked at her husband’s blatant lust. She chided him, "Of course she is. Our little sister is so well-behaved, she only cares about studying all day."
"That’s not necessarily true."
Luis licked his lips and said, "Little sister has developed so well. Forget about the pack of young male dogs at her school, even the old perverts outside would be swallowing their saliva when they see her."
"Brother-in-law! Second sister!"
As soon as she got into the car, Leah called out to them cheerfully.
Luis replied in a calm, gentle tone, "My little princess looks so beautiful today."
"Aren’t I beautiful every day!"
Leah giggled, hugging her second sister’s arm, and said, "Second sister, Brother-in-law has become so slick with his words lately, don’t you think you should rein him in a bit?"
"What, you’re not happy even when he praises you? You have so many opinions."
They chatted and laughed all the way until they arrived at Gestor Palace first. The moment they entered, the sheer opulence of the decor left the Wood sisters utterly stunned, almost breathless.
Entering the massive private room, they found the venue already warmly decorated. Where the Porsche Cayenne was parked, a huge gift box completely enveloped the car.
"Wow, Brother-in-law, this is too much!"
Leah looked around left and right, so astonished she was speechless.
Luis brought in the wrapped gifts first, placing them on the table. He smiled and said, "You little thing, you jumped out of the car and ran faster than a rabbit. You didn’t even help carry anything."
Just as he was speaking, a sudden commotion erupted at the door.
Turning around, they saw Ruth furiously pulling Nancy behind her, shouting, "Daniel, are you insane? What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"
"Ask your daughter yourself, you bitch!"
Daniel’s face was red as he was held back by his mother, Hela. Nancy, whose temper was not one to be provoked, immediately shot back, "You Daniel, are you out of your mind? Explain yourself clearly right now!"
Seeing the situation turning sour, Luis quickly stepped forward and ushered everyone into the private room. As soon as the door closed, it was clear Daniel was highly agitated. Luis immediately blocked him and said coldly, "Brother-in-law, let’s talk this through properly."
"You..."
Luis was nearly a head taller than him, and Daniel had already experienced his physical strength last time.
Stopped like this, Daniel didn’t dare to act recklessly.
Ruth, who had been in a very good mood earlier and had dressed up meticulously, looking exceptionally beautiful and captivating, was now so angry she was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling sharply. She pointed at Daniel and scolded,
"You little bastard, you specifically picked today to ruin my mood, didn’t you? If you don’t give me a proper explanation, I won’t let this matter rest."
Hela, deeply afraid her son would come to harm, quickly pulled him back and said, "Dear mother-in-law, why don’t we all sit down and lay everything out clearly, hmm?"
She was also exasperated by her son’s lack of discipline. She had repeatedly warned him at home to wait until all the relatives and friends had arrived before confronting them publicly. By then, she would ensure this unruly daughter-in-law would be thoroughly disgraced and the Wood family’s reputation would be ruined.
If they had to sever ties, the worst would be divorce, but this bitter resentment simply had to be vented.
Daniel had agreed readily enough verbally, but when he went to pick them up, his face was already dark and gloomy, leaving Nancy and her mother baffled as to why he thought he had any right to be sulking.
Then, the moment they arrived at the entrance of Gestor Palace, Daniel exploded, completely losing his composure and throwing Hela’s plans into disarray.
"Everyone, please sit. Let’s talk this through properly."
Luis calmly urged both sides to sit down, then began brewing tea. He offered Daniel a cigarette, furrowed his brow, and said, "Brother-in-law, what exactly happened this time? Why are you so furious?"
"What happened? That slut!"
Daniel sneered, glaring at Nancy with gritted teeth, and said, "You actually had the audacity to come to Gestor Palace. That lover of yours must be really loaded, huh? Damn, you must have serviced him real good, you bitch."
"Watch your filthy mouth!"
Ruth, incensed, grabbed an ashtray as if to hurl it.
Daniel flinched and dodged aside. Luis quickly intercepted her, taking the ashtray away. He turned back and said coldly, "Brother-in-law, speak properly."
"Speak properly, is it? Fine!"
Daniel, now even more provoked, thrust his phone forward aggressively and yelled, "See for yourself what’s going on! So damn impressive, your wild man took you shopping for stuff worth several thousand!"
"Several thousand??"
Ruth took the phone and started looking.
Hearing this, Nancy felt a wave of relief internally. But ultimately, she had gone alone with her brother-in-law, and had even been facially finished, given oral until completion, and forced to swallow... she inexplicably felt a lack of confidence.
She glanced worriedly at Lily, afraid her sister might also start overthinking things.
"Oh, that matter. It was twenty five thousand. Here’s the invoice."
Luis said casually, pulling an invoice from his pocket and handing it over. Hela took it, looked at it hesitantly, and asked, "You went shopping with Nancy?"
"Yes!"
Luis pointed towards the back, saying, "I’m not very knowledgeable about these luxury brands. Eldest Sister happened to have a classmate working there, so we went to make the purchase."
Then he pointed again, "Look, the bags Little Sister is carrying, the one my wife is carrying, they’re all newly bought LVs. We picked up some jewelry too."
"Oh, and most importantly, I bought a gift for Mom too, but I haven’t presented it yet."
Hearing this, the mother and son from the Daniel family were dumbstruck. They looked around and indeed saw the Wood mother and daughter carrying new bags.
Daniel didn’t really recognize these women’s handbags, but Hela could see they were indeed the latest models. She immediately coughed and said, "Ahem, well, this appears to be a misunderstanding. However, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for the two of you to go shopping alone together?"
"Who said they were alone?"
Just then, Lily suddenly clung to Luis’s arm, looking at Daniel with clear hostility, and said, "The three of us went to the capital together, alright! But at that time, I was feeling unwell from morning sickness and was resting, so I asked Eldest Sister and my husband to do the choosing. Mainly because Eldest Sister has better taste, so I had her act as my advisor. After we finished shopping, the three of us came back together. What wild man... you’re insane. Even if my husband and my eldest sister went together, what’s the problem with going shopping and buying a few things? Brother-in-law, are you suffering from persecution delusions?"
This speech left not only the Daniel mother and son gaping in stunned silence, but even the members of the Wood family were utterly flabbergasted.
Except for the oblivious Leah, everyone in the family knew that only Luis and Nancy had gone that night; Lily had definitely been resting at home. Although none of them had suspected anything untoward, Lily’s ability to lie so smoothly without a hint of blush or increased heartbeat, and to fabricate such a story to protect her own, was something nobody had anticipated.
"That is right!"
Ruth was briefly stunned, but then naturally seized the initiative, slamming the table and cursing, "Daniel, are you mentally ill?"
"Even if they went alone, what is wrong with going to the capital to buy something? What is more, my Lily went with them."
Daniel had originally come to demand an explanation, but this time he was thoroughly scolded. The key point was that Hela saw the bags carried by the Wood family mother and daughter were indeed all new LV models...
and so was the jewelry they were wearing.
